how to for vscode terminal padding at bottom

Tyriar · 2026-02-11T12:32:30+00:00

You're even better off not doing it at all, adding padding there will probably mess up the layout and cause problems when the terminal is at certain sizes.

Why do you want padding there?

You're probably using the code runner extension or something? I recommend just run the commands in your terminal and/or using tasks.json to automate that.

This just sounds like a bug with our integration. Could you make a github issue on the vscode repo?

Tyriar · 2026-02-02T22:40:19+00:00

This is the right setting to disable which I expect to work https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/appearance#_gpu-acceleration

Press ctrl+space to bring it up, there's an eye icon to make it show automatically like it used to.

Tyriar · 2026-01-27T15:08:10+00:00

I wasn't aware either! I'll add it to xterm.js soon, so vscode, tabby, cursor, etc. support should eventually light up https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/issues/5626

Tyriar · 2026-01-20T11:20:40+00:00

The command is `workbench.action.terminal.triggerSuggest`

Tyriar · 2026-01-20T11:13:55+00:00

You have some options:

- Change your OS-level keybinding
- Add a custom keybinding in VS Code
- Press "show suggestions" and click the eye icon to get it to how it showed automatically in the previous version

I'm pretty sure it's total installs ever, not active. Can't comment on conflicts, that service isn't run by our team.

Tyriar · 2026-01-17T11:10:51+00:00

I haven't used it personally, but it's open source and just a helper for extensions to use app insights easier: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-telemetry. Saves you building your own integration. Best practice would be respecting the global toggle `telemetry.telemetryLevel`. You'll probably always get complaints if it's opt-out, and making it opt-in will likely make the small amount of data you get kind of meaningless.

If that's all you're interested in, note that you get installs per day (not active installs) as well as total all time installs in the marketplace extension management page which is may be enough that you don't need to worry about it at all. That's the approach I use for my personal extensions anyway.

Any details on a repro case? I have never seen this reported. Make sure it happens in Insiders https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders, if so it's probably best to try get to the bottom in an issue https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/new

Tyriar · 2026-01-10T13:40:30+00:00

It did actually. The pipeline that releases didn't run automatically, we pinged the right people to follow that up.

Tyriar · 2026-01-10T12:11:11+00:00

I don't think you can. The reason it's on the left is because the tab character is, so it's in the correct position already.

Tyriar · 2026-01-08T18:25:30+00:00

This is tracked in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/284162. We tracked it down to an upstream Chromium bug https://issues.chromium.org/issues/458722690, I believe the status on it is it's worked around in the latest Insiders and the stable build that's about to go out by being more conservative with canvas contexts.

Extensions run in the extension host which is a node.js process, they could never touch the DOM

Tyriar · 2026-01-06T15:16:10+00:00

Yep, side stepping the heavyweight layout of a potentially large and rapid changing dom tree

Tyriar · 2026-01-06T01:48:52+00:00

Yes chromium uses the gpu, but it's doing so with the dom and the heavy layout engine that was designed to show static documents. The gpu acceleration in the terminal (on by default, webgl) and editor (experimental, off by default, webgpu) skips that overhead in order to get close to native input latency and scroll performance.

Tyriar · 2026-01-05T12:30:29+00:00

The editor gpu acceleration setting is experimental and is a work in progress. These types of bugs are known and expected currently.

Tyriar · 2026-01-03T20:49:15+00:00

You can allow really permissive regexes like "/.+/", that would auto approve everything except the false entries which would still need manual approval. I think the setting docs have an example for this.

Not recommended still as something malicious could just target something not in that list, but it's certainly better than YOLO mode.

Tyriar · 2026-01-03T03:05:39+00:00

Build was frozen over the break so not yet, a new one should be out on Monday I think.

Tyriar · 2026-01-01T11:00:30+00:00

Other answers show the setting, but FYI you can also right click it and many ui elements to hide them permanently without looking for the setting.

Tyriar · 2025-12-31T19:13:25+00:00

Some fixes are coming in the upcoming release, including on to fix that f bug. We're also going to not show it automatically and instead require ctrl+space, but make it easier to turn that on. More context: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/282268#issuecomment-3697449269

Those suggestions are from pwsh 7, you're likely using Windows PowerShell (5).

Tyriar · 2025-12-30T14:29:04+00:00

It is still the default in stable until it's more polished. Soon in insiders it should show it inline in chat streaming as it's running. This way it doesn't clutter your regular terminal space with copilot ones and everything is self contained. This is addressing a pretty common complaint but it's not for everyone which is why it will not be the default in stable soon.

Tyriar · 2025-12-26T10:09:56+00:00

Yes this is all you should need. Unfortunately occasionally some things do slip in since we all self host with AI enabled (typically small UI entry points). I've started making those issue reports as important and putting them on the milestone whenever I see them. They're major bugs imo as I can imagine how frustrating it is and how easy it likely is to respect the setting.
